The Registrar of Political Parties has approved the registration of Fiji United Freedom Party under the Political Parties Decree.

The Party now becomes the sixth registered Party in Fiji.

Meanwhile the Application of the proposed “One Fiji Party” was rejected under the Political Parties Decree under section 6 (3) (1) for failing to meet the minimum requirements of the decree.

Section 6 (3) (1) of the Political Parties Decree states an application for registration shall be accompanied by a schedule setting out the names, addresses, signatures and voter identification card numbers of at least 5,000 members of the proposed political party from all the four Divisions with a minimum number of members from each Division.
